Truth never retires

Description

523 pages containing colour and black and white photographs. The inside of the dust jacket reads as follows; Few autobiographies leave so undeniable an impression on the mind of the reader. “Truth Never Retires” as the name implies, is indeed a writing with indelible imprint and cannot be termed as an ordinary biography. It is a virtual testimony of an eye witness of the national drama staged over a period of fifty years. Admiral Sirohey’s long and variegated part in the national scene, his vivid, realistic and truthful presentation of the facts has made the book an invaluable contribution to our national history and an inspiring guideline for generations to come. The animated and solidifying hand of the author makes the book a choice compendium of professional ethics, politics, religion and international affairs. Unlike other biographies, the writer shuns mixing of half fiction half truth displaying his apathy for impaired and tempered information. The last part of the book is the most illuminating segment of this saga. It presents the Admiral’s pragmatism and courage of expression. Flawless diction, immaculate grammar and fluency of language has made “Truth Never Retires” an objective book of reference.
